Getting Ready For Europa 2009

Been doing some serious AW training for the last 3 months trying

to better myself from last years performance at Europa 2008 in Dallas

Texas.

I've been pulling on Sundays and working grip and recovery on Thursdays.

I do something everyday for arm wrestling even if it's something as simple as

finger extensions with rubber bands.

Hope to do well this year. I'm probably competing RH Heavy, Masters & Open

Class.

Hope to see you there. August 15, 2009 @ Dallas Convention Center.

Stay tuned and stay Strong!!!

Arm Wrestling Training & ARM TV

I haven't posted in a while. I apologize for that. I've been doing my arm wrestling training trying to get ready for Europa Super Show Tournament, August 15th in Dallas Texas. I'll be pulling Masters, Heavy RH and maybe Open, Heavy RH. We'll see!

One of the BEST things an arm wrestler, competitive or not can do to help themselves
get better is to join ARM TV and watch others pull and train. ARM TV is the BEST thing going right now in arm wrestling. Click on the link to the left and JOIN!!!

ARM TV is AWESOME!!!

Stay tuned and stay Strong!!!

Messing Around

Blob attempts = #40 & # 37.5 hex
Failed R & L Hand

2" DB = 3 singles @ 117 lbs.

Pinch Block Curls = 1 set x 8 @ 7.5 lbs.

T.E.N.S. Unit x 30 minutes for wrist and hands.

Tried some bare-handed bending @ work today to toughen up
hands and mental power.

3/16" CRS x 7" Reverse to 90 degrees x 2 = PAIN

I'm currently using PAIN to overcome PAIN. More on
this later.

Stay tuned and stay Strong!!!

Blobs & Thick Bar DB

After doing my gripper routine I decided to play around
with some blobs and get a few DL singles in with my new 2"
DB I made.

Workout looked like this:

27.5 lb. Blob x 5 each hand

40 lb. Blob x 5 attempts each hand = No Lifts

Pinch Block Plate Curls = 3 sets x 10, 8, 6 @ 7.5 lbs.

2" DB = 5 singles, R&L @ 117 lbs.
